- Turn, the country in a better direction.
- 00:00:29.988 --> 00:00:31.790
- At least they're hoping
- 00:00:31.790 --> 00:00:33.358
- Rarely a day passes that either president trump or speaker
- 00:00:33.358 --> 00:00:36.161
- Johnson or john thune are not on the air
- 00:00:36.161 --> 00:00:38.497
- Explaining how they're solving
- 00:00:38.497 --> 00:00:39.965
- The most challenging issues of our time crime, debt,
- 00:00:39.965 --> 00:00:43.401
- Taxes, insurance regulations, and a whole lot more.
- 00:00:43.401 --> 00:00:47.339
- On top of that, president trump is negotiating
- 00:00:47.339 --> 00:00:49.741
- A peace settlement with russia and ukraine.
- 00:00:49.741 --> 00:00:52.711
- He's protecting christians
- 00:00:52.711 --> 00:00:53.812
- In africa, expanding the peace deal in the middle east,
- 00:00:53.812 --> 00:00:56.948
- And taking out the drug runners from venezuela
- 00:00:56.948 --> 00:00:59.117
- Who've been making millions of dollars
- 00:00:59.117 --> 00:01:01.186
- Off the lives of america's youth.
- 00:01:01.186 --> 00:01:03.421
- It's hard to imagine how he keeps it all straight.
- 00:01:03.421 --> 00:01:06.158
- So as we head into the new year, we're going to take stock of
- 00:01:06.158 --> 00:01:08.793
- What's been done, where we're headed,
- 00:01:08.793 --> 00:01:10.962
- And what the two political parties in washington
- 00:01:10.962 --> 00:01:13.031
- Are going to try to do to stay in power.
- 00:01:13.031 --> 00:01:15.200
- Once the voting begins again next fall.
- 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.203
- Well, joining me tonight, one of our regular guest,
- 00:01:18.203 --> 00:01:20.839
- The editor in chief of breitbart news
- 00:01:20.839 --> 00:01:22.908
- And soon to be a coast to coast radio show host.
- 00:01:22.908 --> 00:01:26.945
- Beginning next monday at noon eastern time.
- 00:01:26.945 --> 00:01:29.881
- Alex marlow, welcome back to the show.
- 00:01:29.881 --> 00:01:34.019
- Great to see you.
- 00:01:34.452 --> 00:01:35.387
- Merry christmas to you and happy new year.
- 00:01:35.387 --> 00:01:36.555
- We're glad to have you back.
- 00:01:36.555 --> 00:01:37.522
- I'm excited about your new side
- 00:01:37.522 --> 00:01:38.790
- Hustle, this radio show, the whole new venue.
- 00:01:38.790 --> 00:01:42.294
- Yeah. it is.
- 00:01:42.627 --> 00:01:43.461
- I've always
- 00:01:43.461 --> 00:01:44.629
- Been a lover of talk radio, and i'm taken over a slot
- 00:01:44.629 --> 00:01:48.099
- That was last held by my good friend charlie kirk,
- 00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:50.802
- Who was a friend to you.
- 00:01:50.802 --> 00:01:52.304
- And charlie and i were very close.
- 00:01:52.304 --> 00:01:53.605
- You got to start writing for me at breitbart.
- 00:01:53.605 --> 00:01:55.340
- And, it's bittersweet
- 00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:56.808
- To step into his shoes, but i'm going to do my best
- 00:01:56.808 --> 00:01:59.377
- To honor his legacy
- 00:01:59.377 --> 00:02:00.512
- On radio stations from noon to one eastern time.
- 00:02:00.512 --> 00:02:03.882
- But wherever you get your salem
- 00:02:03.882 --> 00:02:05.350
- Stations, you'll be able to get those.
- 00:02:05.350 --> 00:02:06.985
- And i'll be doing a lot of additional podcasts as well.
- 00:02:06.985 --> 00:02:09.054
- Hopefully you'll join me again.
- 00:02:09.054 --> 00:02:10.622
- You joined me in the last year as a big success,
- 00:02:10.622 --> 00:02:12.457
- So hopefully a lot more to come. absolutely.
- 00:02:12.457 --> 00:02:15.227
- Well, for most people,
- 00:02:15.227 --> 00:02:16.261
- Making america safe again, it's right up there
- 00:02:16.261 --> 00:02:18.129
- With driving the economy forward.
- 00:02:18.129 --> 00:02:20.265
- The borders are closed
- 00:02:20.265 --> 00:02:21.466
- And the worst of the criminals who came through
- 00:02:21.466 --> 00:02:23.335
- Are being arrested, jailed and often deported.
- 00:02:23.335 --> 00:02:26.972
- The illegal drugs are being eliminated from the market.
- 00:02:26.972 --> 00:02:29.941
- But if you listen to the democrats and their media
- 00:02:29.941 --> 00:02:31.876
- Friends, the president shouldn't be doing any of this.
- 00:02:31.876 --> 00:02:35.080
- I want to begin by asking, is that what the democrats
- 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.482
- Are going to run on?
- 00:02:37.482 --> 00:02:38.617
- That crime is okay,
- 00:02:38.617 --> 00:02:39.951
- Drugs are fine, and stealing taxpayer money
- 00:02:39.951 --> 00:02:42.954
- As they did by the hundreds of millions in minnesota.
- 00:02:42.954 --> 00:02:45.824
- It's all just part of taking care of those in need.
- 00:02:45.824 --> 00:02:48.760
- They get headlines, but will they get any votes?
- 00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:52.764
- Yeah.
- 00:02:52.998 --> 00:02:53.798
- I don't know if they'll get votes
- 00:02:53.798 --> 00:02:54.566
- Because they think that
- 00:02:54.566 --> 00:02:55.800
- The whole constituency are transgender people,
- 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.870
- Criminals and illegal aliens.
- 00:02:58.870 --> 00:03:00.405
- And it's just not all of them can vote.
- 00:03:00.405 --> 00:03:02.407
- And it's just one of these things
- 00:03:02.407 --> 00:03:03.608
- Where that feels like that's where they position the party.
- 00:03:03.608 --> 00:03:06.511
- That is their core constituency.
- 00:03:06.511 --> 00:03:08.680
- And i have no evidence to suggest
- 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.283
- That that's good enough to win elections.
- 00:03:11.283 --> 00:03:13.918
- You brought up the border, i'd say pastor at breitbart news.
- 00:03:13.918 --> 00:03:16.688
- We've been on the cutting edge of a lot of issues.
- 00:03:16.688 --> 00:03:18.623
- And the number one thing was the border and immigration.
- 00:03:18.623 --> 00:03:21.926
- I grew up in los angeles, and i saw
- 00:03:21.926 --> 00:03:23.928
- That you're not a racist
- 00:03:23.928 --> 00:03:24.863
- If you feel like we should have a border.
- 00:03:24.863 --> 00:03:26.698
- Illegal immigration ruined my city where i grew up.
- 00:03:26.698 --> 00:03:29.601
- I saw this firsthand.
- 00:03:29.601 --> 00:03:31.202
- This is not something that is an emotional issue.
- 00:03:31.202 --> 00:03:33.471
- It is something that is a purely dollars
- 00:03:33.471 --> 00:03:35.974
- And cents up and down, right and wrong sort of issue.
- 00:03:35.974 --> 00:03:38.743
- The lawlessness, when it comes to our border,
- 00:03:38.743 --> 00:03:40.578
- Permeated throughout the entire democrat party.
- 00:03:40.578 --> 00:03:42.881
- All their talking points, all of their ideals involve
- 00:03:42.881 --> 00:03:45.950
- Reducing laws in order
- 00:03:45.950 --> 00:03:47.619
- To protect criminals at the expense of the citizens.
- 00:03:47.619 --> 00:03:49.988
- And we were way out a limb ten years ago saying,
- 00:03:49.988 --> 00:03:52.490
- We need to close the border down.
- 00:03:52.490 --> 00:03:54.092
- We need to end illegal immigration.
- 00:03:54.092 --> 00:03:55.627
- We need to curtail illegal immigration
- 00:03:55.627 --> 00:03:57.929
- To make sure we're not having importing
- 00:03:57.929 --> 00:03:59.531
- Too much competition for americans.
- 00:03:59.531 --> 00:04:01.299
- And now i think people finally understand it.
- 00:04:01.299 --> 00:04:03.735
- There's virtually zero crossings.
- 00:04:03.735 --> 00:04:05.270
- We've seized half 1 million pounds of drugs in our border.
- 00:04:05.270 --> 00:04:08.006
- We're bombing drug boats, which is terrific.
- 00:04:08.006 --> 00:04:10.442
- All this is a deep positive for president trump,
- 00:04:10.442 --> 00:04:12.644
- And i think the people are going to reward him.
- 00:04:12.644 --> 00:04:14.612
- I pray you're right.
- 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.047
- I think the values that are underlie
- 00:04:16.047 --> 00:04:18.350
- That open border mentality are the same values
- 00:04:18.350 --> 00:04:21.519
- That have fueled the the fraud tsunami in minnesota.
- 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.691
- You nailed that.
- 00:04:27.092 --> 00:04:28.193
- And the lawfare against president trump ahead of time.
- 00:04:28.193 --> 00:04:29.894
- It's all a lawless attitude.
- 00:04:29.894 --> 00:04:31.896
- The democrats want to protect the criminals
- 00:04:31.896 --> 00:04:33.531
- At the expense of the citizens.
- 00:04:33.531 --> 00:04:34.899
- They want to use the law to go
- 00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:36.134
- After their political opponent and do nothing else.
- 00:04:36.134 --> 00:04:38.636
- Because if they throw the book at people,
- 00:04:38.636 --> 00:04:40.572
- That's a potential voters.
- 00:04:40.572 --> 00:04:42.073
- So they look at it as that's a constituency.
- 00:04:42.073 --> 00:04:44.209
- They're trying to court.
- 00:04:44.209 --> 00:04:45.243
- And that's why you saw, after all,
- 00:04:45.243 --> 00:04:46.711
- The somali fraud came out this week,
- 00:04:46.711 --> 00:04:48.279
- Tim wall saying, we want more somalis.
- 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.215
- We want more somalis to come into minnesota. why is that?
- 00:04:50.215 --> 00:04:53.118
- Because he knows that's a key voting base for him.
- 00:04:53.118 --> 00:04:55.887
- So how do we awaken the general population
- 00:04:56.755 --> 00:04:59.591
- To the importance of authority and law,
- 00:04:59.591 --> 00:05:03.461
- And why those values truly matter?
- 00:05:03.461 --> 00:05:05.363
- Because if we lose that, we become anarchist.
- 00:05:05.363 --> 00:05:08.400
- I agree, i think it starts with storytelling.
- 00:05:09.334 --> 00:05:11.436
- And that's what you do
- 00:05:11.436 --> 00:05:12.370
- Is what i do in trying to find examples
- 00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:15.140
- That bring things to life for people.
- 00:05:15.140 --> 00:05:16.775
- I think when you start seeing that some of this latest
- 00:05:16.775 --> 00:05:19.411
- Round of somali fraud that's been uncovered,
- 00:05:19.411 --> 00:05:21.746
- Where they're showing that
- 00:05:21.746 --> 00:05:22.814
- People are taking advantage of programs
- 00:05:22.814 --> 00:05:24.682
- Designed to help families with autistic children,
- 00:05:24.682 --> 00:05:27.318
- And they're stealing that money to use it for themselves.
- 00:05:27.318 --> 00:05:30.622
- It's a very powerful story to tell.
- 00:05:30.622 --> 00:05:32.023
- When you have
- 00:05:32.023 --> 00:05:32.590
- Some of these signs
- 00:05:32.590 --> 00:05:33.758
- That are these tax dollars going to a learning center,
- 00:05:33.758 --> 00:05:36.561
- And the word learning is misspelled and it is learing,
- 00:05:36.561 --> 00:05:40.031
- This is very powerful.
- 00:05:40.031 --> 00:05:40.932
- So we get to tell all those stories
- 00:05:40.932 --> 00:05:42.634
- And to highlight
- 00:05:42.634 --> 00:05:43.601
- Some of the people and some of the families
- 00:05:43.601 --> 00:05:45.036
- Who are victims of illegal alien crime,
- 00:05:45.036 --> 00:05:46.738
- Who are getting bilked by the fraudsters,
- 00:05:46.738 --> 00:05:49.007
- Telling those, i think that's step one.
- 00:05:49.007 --> 00:05:51.142
- And then i think
- 00:05:51.142 --> 00:05:52.210
- If you people in your life who are on the left who
- 00:05:52.210 --> 00:05:54.179
- Don't understand these things, make them defend it.
- 00:05:54.179 --> 00:05:56.648
- Why do you think this is okay?
- 00:05:56.648 --> 00:05:58.082
- How do you think the system got so corrupt?
- 00:05:58.082 --> 00:05:59.751
- Do you think that it's.
- 00:05:59.751 --> 00:06:01.486
- You think it's appropriate for a supposedly melting pot?
- 00:06:01.486 --> 00:06:04.556
- Is diversity really our strength?
- 00:06:04.556 --> 00:06:06.191
- If we're importing whole cultures of people
- 00:06:06.191 --> 00:06:08.359
- That are just balkanized, living amongst themselves
- 00:06:08.359 --> 00:06:10.762
- And trying to rip off the taxpayers,
- 00:06:10.762 --> 00:06:12.430
- These are pretty fundamental points
- 00:06:12.430 --> 00:06:13.932
- That i think resonate with common sense americans.
- 00:06:13.932 --> 00:06:16.334
- Absolutely. you mentioned the border.
- 00:06:16.334 --> 00:06:18.636
- You know, a lot of progress has been made,
- 00:06:18.636 --> 00:06:20.305
- But there are federal estimates
- 00:06:20.305 --> 00:06:21.506
- That as many as 18,000 people here in the u.s.
- 00:06:21.506 --> 00:06:24.909
- Are either terrorist or connected with terrorist groups.
- 00:06:24.909 --> 00:06:28.146
- That's roughly 350 in each of our states.
- 00:06:28.146 --> 00:06:31.149
- Is it going to take another nine
- 00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:32.150
- Over 11 for us to see the light on this threat,
- 00:06:32.150 --> 00:06:35.186
- Or are we just going to continue to whistle along in the dark?
- 00:06:35.186 --> 00:06:38.256
- I hate to say it, but it might.
- 00:06:38.256 --> 00:06:39.858
- I've been saying this again for a decade,
- 00:06:39.858 --> 00:06:41.693
- And or more, that you can't
- 00:06:41.693 --> 00:06:43.661
- Have an open border and not think the world,
- 00:06:43.661 --> 00:06:45.663
- The worst people in the world
- 00:06:45.663 --> 00:06:48.066
- Are going to try to take advantage of it.
- 00:06:48.066 --> 00:06:49.734
- They already are.
- 00:06:49.734 --> 00:06:50.502
- Think about fentanyl.
- 00:06:50.502 --> 00:06:51.536
- Fentanyl is essentially like 39 elevens a year.
- 00:06:51.536 --> 00:06:54.806
- It's the 100,000 americans are dying of fentanyl
- 00:06:54.806 --> 00:06:57.709
- Every single year.
- 00:06:57.709 --> 00:06:58.910
- And when president trump wants to bomb
- 00:06:58.910 --> 00:07:00.545
- Some drug boats with the fentanyl on them,
- 00:07:00.545 --> 00:07:02.680
- The media comes up with every excuse to make trump
- 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.449
- The bad guy. that's completely insane to me.
- 00:07:04.449 --> 00:07:06.751
- And it makes you think that there's
- 00:07:06.751 --> 00:07:08.019
- A lot of people in this country who will never learn.
- 00:07:08.019 --> 00:07:09.954
- But of course, an open border just means
- 00:07:09.954 --> 00:07:12.257
- The worst actors on earth are going to take advantage.
- 00:07:12.257 --> 00:07:14.325
- And that includes people who are extremely violent.
- 00:07:14.325 --> 00:07:16.995
- Well, let's turn to the economy for a moment.
- 00:07:17.929 --> 00:07:19.697
- The gdp is showing strong underlying growth.
- 00:07:19.697 --> 00:07:22.066
- Jobs are holding steady
- 00:07:22.066 --> 00:07:23.735
- Since everything in the country
- 00:07:23.735 --> 00:07:24.869
- Is eventually delivered by a truck.
- 00:07:24.869 --> 00:07:27.171
- Gas prices are even coming down.
- 00:07:27.171 --> 00:07:28.907
- It's going to get cheaper to buy a lot of things.
- 00:07:28.907 --> 00:07:31.576
- But the so-called affordability problem,
- 00:07:31.576 --> 00:07:33.611
- It actually began years ago
- 00:07:33.611 --> 00:07:35.446
- When the supply chain was disrupted.
- 00:07:35.446 --> 00:07:37.815
- But even with those headwinds, the president has cut
- 00:07:37.815 --> 00:07:39.751
- Regulations that used to tie up small business in knots.
- 00:07:39.751 --> 00:07:43.154
- Listen to how the economist steve moore explains
- 00:07:43.154 --> 00:07:45.857
- The impact of what the president has done.
- 00:07:45.857 --> 00:07:48.860
- Now regulation is a tax on the economy.
- 00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:51.629
- It's a tax on businesses and families.
- 00:07:51.629 --> 00:07:53.331
- So think of the savings
- 00:07:53.331 --> 00:07:55.233
- Which are in the hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
- 00:07:55.233 --> 00:07:58.269
- And these are things like trump getting
- 00:07:58.269 --> 00:07:59.837
- Rid of racial quotas for hiring.
- 00:07:59.837 --> 00:08:02.140
- How about the fact that he's
- 00:08:02.140 --> 00:08:03.107
- Letting people buy any car they want?
- 00:08:03.107 --> 00:08:04.842
- You don't have to buy an electric vehicle.
- 00:08:04.842 --> 00:08:06.611
- I think this makes donald trump unquestionably the
- 00:08:06.611 --> 00:08:10.415
- Deregulation president.
- 00:08:10.415 --> 00:08:13.017
- Do you think
- 00:08:13.351 --> 00:08:14.586
- Americans, on the whole, will appreciate what's been done?
- 00:08:14.586 --> 00:08:16.955
- Even if certain media tries to put a negative spin on it?
- 00:08:16.955 --> 00:08:20.692
- As steve moore on our exact same page on this.
- 00:08:20.692 --> 00:08:23.227
- I've been doing a lot of content
- 00:08:23.227 --> 00:08:24.662
- Getting interviewed, talking about accomplishments
- 00:08:24.662 --> 00:08:26.998
- For this year for president trump.
- 00:08:26.998 --> 00:08:28.566
- And i think the advancement, the deregulation agenda is way
- 00:08:28.566 --> 00:08:31.903
- Up there.
- 00:08:31.903 --> 00:08:32.737
- And things that we don't talk about
- 00:08:32.737 --> 00:08:33.905
- That is going to unleash a lot of growth in this country.
- 00:08:33.905 --> 00:08:36.941
- We also have some more tax cuts
- 00:08:36.941 --> 00:08:38.209
- Coming next year that's going to help.
- 00:08:38.209 --> 00:08:39.911
- The tariffs worked.
- 00:08:39.911 --> 00:08:40.945
- Everyone said the tariffs would be inflationary.
- 00:08:40.945 --> 00:08:42.513
- Instead, they generated tens of billions of dollars
- 00:08:42.513 --> 00:08:44.882
- For a treasury with no inflation.
- 00:08:44.882 --> 00:08:46.451
- Inflation's come down.
- 00:08:46.451 --> 00:08:47.819
- And we've even seen deflation and certain things like egg
- 00:08:47.819 --> 00:08:50.922
- Prices are down. things like that. that's terrific.
- 00:08:50.922 --> 00:08:53.691
- But overall in terms of the economy
- 00:08:53.691 --> 00:08:55.727
- We're seeing a huge levels of growth.
- 00:08:55.727 --> 00:08:57.495
- And a lot of it is related to deregulation.
- 00:08:57.495 --> 00:09:00.431
- But this word, the battle for the word affordability,
- 00:09:00.431 --> 00:09:03.601
- We need to make sure that we're
- 00:09:03.601 --> 00:09:04.502
- Framing it up, which is accurate.
- 00:09:04.502 --> 00:09:06.371
- Affordability crises were brought on by joe
- 00:09:06.371 --> 00:09:08.506
- Biden and the democrats
- 00:09:08.506 --> 00:09:09.641
- By their deficit spending, the biden inflation,
- 00:09:09.641 --> 00:09:12.377
- Their overregulation, the feeling to tap america's
- 00:09:12.377 --> 00:09:16.781
- Latent energy
- 00:09:17.148 --> 00:09:17.982
- That's underneath our, our earth.
- 00:09:17.982 --> 00:09:21.119
- Not getting that out into the out of the ground
- 00:09:21.119 --> 00:09:23.721
- And into people's cars, into their machinery
- 00:09:23.721 --> 00:09:26.891
- And allowing them to innovate with that.
- 00:09:26.891 --> 00:09:28.926
- It was a total disgrace
- 00:09:28.926 --> 00:09:29.994
- The way the biden administration handled energy.
- 00:09:29.994 --> 00:09:32.063
- And that's part of the reason why things are so unaffordable.
- 00:09:32.063 --> 00:09:35.733
- Well i like there's a lot more to talk about.
- 00:09:35.733 --> 00:09:37.535
- We need to take a short break.
- 00:09:37.535 --> 00:09:39.037
- Can you stay with us for another segment.
- 00:09:39.037 --> 00:09:41.172
- Absolutely.
- 00:09:41.172 --> 00:09:42.340
- Well in the meantime you can log on to aj now.com.
- 00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.209
- Send me an email on the issues
- 00:09:45.209 --> 00:09:46.811
- That you want to know more about.
- 00:09:46.811 --> 00:09:48.479
- There's an easy tab at the top of the page.
- 00:09:48.479 --> 00:09:50.948
- So if you haven't done it before you'll find it really simple.
- 00:09:50.948 --> 00:09:53.951
- I'd like to hear from you. we'll be right back.
- 00:09:53.951 --> 00:10:03.005
- I'd like to hear from you. we'll be right back.
- 00:10:03.005 --> 00:10:07.933
- We're back now with alex marlow.
- 00:10:08.567 --> 00:10:10.869
- He's the editor
- 00:10:10.869 --> 00:10:12.071
- In chief of breitbart news and the author of many books,
- 00:10:12.071 --> 00:10:14.840
- Including his latest win, breaking the law
- 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.676
- Exposing the weaponization
- 00:10:17.676 --> 00:10:19.244
- Of america's legal system against donald trump.
- 00:10:19.244 --> 00:10:22.281
- Alex, when president trump is not having to respond
- 00:10:23.315 --> 00:10:25.784
- To the legal maneuvers
- 00:10:25.784 --> 00:10:26.719
- That certain democrats are putting his way,
- 00:10:26.719 --> 00:10:28.921
- He spends a lot of time on foreign policy issues.
- 00:10:28.921 --> 00:10:31.757
- Finding peace between israel
- 00:10:31.757 --> 00:10:33.258
- And iran's proxy terrorists is still taking time.
- 00:10:33.258 --> 00:10:36.562
- So the ongoing war in ukraine,
- 00:10:36.562 --> 00:10:39.031
- Well, it's obviously the right thing to do.
- 00:10:39.031 --> 00:10:41.100
- Does the president gain any political points with voters
- 00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:44.069
- When he's settling wars,
- 00:10:44.069 --> 00:10:45.637
- Taking out isis in nigeria or hamas in gaza?
- 00:10:45.637 --> 00:10:49.541
- I ask because it doesn't seem to show up in his overall
- 00:10:49.541 --> 00:10:52.010
- Popularity figures.
- 00:10:52.010 --> 00:10:53.979
- Yeah, i got the same answer as you.
- 00:10:54.780 --> 00:10:55.981
- That's it's hard to see it from the numbers.
- 00:10:55.981 --> 00:10:58.150
- I do think, though,
- 00:10:58.150 --> 00:10:59.418
- There is an imperative to do the right thing.
- 00:10:59.418 --> 00:11:01.286
- And i think the president
- 00:11:01.286 --> 00:11:02.221
- Likes having the brand that he starts.
- 00:11:02.221 --> 00:11:04.256
- No new wars that he ends, wars, that he's a peace president.
- 00:11:04.256 --> 00:11:07.826
- I think that his surprising decision to bomb sporadically,
- 00:11:07.826 --> 00:11:12.064
- Some of the bad guys, when he feels like he's
- 00:11:12.064 --> 00:11:14.199
- Got a clean shot,
- 00:11:14.199 --> 00:11:15.300
- He's been doing this since his first administration,
- 00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:16.869
- Seems to have always worked out very well.
- 00:11:16.869 --> 00:11:19.171
- And so i think his foreign policy
- 00:11:19.171 --> 00:11:20.773
- Is, generally speaking, an a plus.
- 00:11:20.773 --> 00:11:22.441
- I think the fact that there's even been a ceasefire in gaza
- 00:11:22.441 --> 00:11:24.877
- To negotiate a peace is in and of itself an accomplishment.
- 00:11:24.877 --> 00:11:28.347
- And the fact that we're closer to peace in the middle east
- 00:11:28.347 --> 00:11:30.115
- Than we've been in my whole lifetime
- 00:11:30.115 --> 00:11:31.650
- Is, again, an amazing accomplishment.
- 00:11:31.650 --> 00:11:33.619
- But overall, it doesn't feel like that's what wins elections.
- 00:11:33.619 --> 00:11:36.255
- It seems like what americans vote on
- 00:11:36.255 --> 00:11:37.723
- Mostly are pocketbook issues.
- 00:11:37.723 --> 00:11:39.525
- And despite all the winning on the foreign policy front,
- 00:11:39.525 --> 00:11:42.361
- He's got to make sure
- 00:11:42.361 --> 00:11:43.495
- Those pocketbook issues are front and center next year.
- 00:11:43.495 --> 00:11:46.031
- You know, i have this growing sense
- 00:11:46.031 --> 00:11:48.667
- Of agitation with the media and our political leaders.
- 00:11:48.667 --> 00:11:51.870
- You know, i kind of understand
- 00:11:52.471 --> 00:11:53.539
- Why they don't want to criticize their own.
- 00:11:53.539 --> 00:11:55.541
- But i've arrived at the conclusion
- 00:11:55.541 --> 00:11:56.942
- That if they are silent about the good
- 00:11:56.942 --> 00:11:58.877
- When it's taking place, that's evil.
- 00:11:58.877 --> 00:12:01.980
- And i'm just not tolerating longer of their unwillingness
- 00:12:01.980 --> 00:12:04.449
- To celebrate these things that are victories
- 00:12:04.449 --> 00:12:06.418
- For our nation and for the general public.
- 00:12:06.418 --> 00:12:08.821
- How do we change that?
- 00:12:08.821 --> 00:12:10.589
- It's hard to say, because
- 00:12:11.156 --> 00:12:12.457
- There's this cognitive dissonance
- 00:12:12.457 --> 00:12:13.892
- That a lot of people have that they've hated trump for so long.
- 00:12:13.892 --> 00:12:17.196
- They thought that the worldview that president trump
- 00:12:17.196 --> 00:12:20.199
- Has must be wrong at every turn.
- 00:12:20.199 --> 00:12:22.201
- It does seem like that.
- 00:12:22.201 --> 00:12:23.402
- That's the unifying vision of most of the powerful figures
- 00:12:23.402 --> 00:12:25.838
- On the american left right now,
- 00:12:25.838 --> 00:12:27.372
- Is that if trump does it, it must be inaccurate.
- 00:12:27.372 --> 00:12:30.075
- And that's the sort of thing that is very hard
- 00:12:30.075 --> 00:12:32.811
- To come back from that it's very hard for you
- 00:12:32.811 --> 00:12:34.446
- To look yourself in the mirror and admit that you're wrong,
- 00:12:34.446 --> 00:12:37.282
- That americans like bombing drug boats.
- 00:12:37.282 --> 00:12:39.017
- We like updating the white house and building a
- 00:12:39.017 --> 00:12:40.853
- Beautiful ballroom. we like law and order.
- 00:12:40.853 --> 00:12:42.921
- We like closing the border.
- 00:12:42.921 --> 00:12:44.256
- The border down from the bad guys.
- 00:12:44.256 --> 00:12:46.525
- We like busting fraudsters.
- 00:12:46.525 --> 00:12:48.060
- We like law and order in our streets.
- 00:12:48.060 --> 00:12:49.528
- And more and
- 00:12:49.528 --> 00:12:51.129
- More law enforcement deployed to keep americans safe.
- 00:12:51.129 --> 00:12:53.365
- People like that stuff
- 00:12:53.365 --> 00:12:54.733
- And people have been announcing that on the left
- 00:12:54.733 --> 00:12:57.369
- That they don't like it for years.
- 00:12:57.369 --> 00:12:59.004
- And that's going to be a lot for them
- 00:12:59.004 --> 00:13:00.372
- To get over it and admit they were wrong.
- 00:13:00.372 --> 00:13:02.174
- You know, i remember when barack obama was president
- 00:13:03.208 --> 00:13:05.844
- In his second term,
- 00:13:05.844 --> 00:13:07.012
- The less he did, the more his approval rating went up.
- 00:13:07.012 --> 00:13:10.182
- By contrast, president trump never sleeps.
- 00:13:10.182 --> 00:13:12.551
- Then he takes on nearly
- 00:13:12.551 --> 00:13:13.485
- Everything that comes across his desk.
- 00:13:13.485 --> 00:13:15.721
- Yet in getting so much done
- 00:13:15.721 --> 00:13:16.989
- In short order,
- 00:13:16.989 --> 00:13:17.923
- I wonder whether now he's expected to fix
- 00:13:17.923 --> 00:13:19.758
- Just about anything
- 00:13:19.758 --> 00:13:20.559
- And everything in no time at all,
- 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.561
- With little effect on his ratings.
- 00:13:22.561 --> 00:13:24.596
- What do you think?
- 00:13:24.596 --> 00:13:25.964
- We used to read a million stories
- 00:13:25.964 --> 00:13:27.399
- About how often obama was golfing.
- 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.034
- I had a reporter, charlie spearing, who loved
- 00:13:29.034 --> 00:13:30.969
- Writing these. when obama was president.
- 00:13:30.969 --> 00:13:33.005
- And i mean, i just got a kick out of them.
- 00:13:33.005 --> 00:13:35.908
- But i was always saying good golf every day.
- 00:13:35.908 --> 00:13:38.277
- Just stop governing. i just want you to do anything.
- 00:13:38.277 --> 00:13:40.612
- Please be on the golf course, because every time you go
- 00:13:40.612 --> 00:13:42.781
- To the white house, you're always ruining stuff.
- 00:13:42.781 --> 00:13:44.783
- So yes,
- 00:13:44.783 --> 00:13:46.018
- President trump is just he's such a frenetic ball of energy.
- 00:13:46.018 --> 00:13:48.954
- It's amazing.
- 00:13:48.954 --> 00:13:49.788
- It's a marvel to see it in person.
- 00:13:49.788 --> 00:13:51.523
- He's always thinking moves ahead.
- 00:13:51.523 --> 00:13:54.059
- And he he just really thrives when he's getting stuff done.
- 00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:57.663
- He's got a very proactive agenda.
- 00:13:57.663 --> 00:13:59.731
- This is the model
- 00:13:59.731 --> 00:14:00.799
- Not just for president, but i think it's the model
- 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:02.267
- For any leader in any organization.
- 00:14:02.267 --> 00:14:04.569
- It is infectious to watch.
- 00:14:04.569 --> 00:14:06.471
- He's changed how i think about my job
- 00:14:06.471 --> 00:14:08.240
- And what i do with my time.
- 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.274
- You called me into account.
- 00:14:09.274 --> 00:14:11.476
- Well, president trump does have his defenders in congress,
- 00:14:11.476 --> 00:14:13.879
- And he's asked more of them to help explain
- 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:15.747
- What's been done to fire up the economy.
- 00:14:15.747 --> 00:14:18.150
- Listen to congresswoman claudia tenney of new york, explain
- 00:14:18.150 --> 00:14:20.953
- Her view.
- 00:14:20.953 --> 00:14:21.954
- The only message
- 00:14:22.354 --> 00:14:23.422
- They have is, you know, it's the economy, stupid.
- 00:14:23.422 --> 00:14:26.224
- The old relic from bill clinton.
- 00:14:26.224 --> 00:14:27.960
- But the problem is the economy is doing really well.
- 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.562
- We saw growth as we see 4.3% inflation down.
- 00:14:30.562 --> 00:14:34.933
- The market is doing very well.
- 00:14:34.933 --> 00:14:36.935
- We're getting a record amount of money
- 00:14:36.935 --> 00:14:38.837
- Coming in from the tariffs
- 00:14:38.837 --> 00:14:40.005
- And other things that all you know
- 00:14:40.005 --> 00:14:41.340
- We're the doomsayers said we weren't going to do well.
- 00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:43.909
- So the democrats are going
- 00:14:43.909 --> 00:14:45.110
- To try to use this great economy and just be the naysayers.
- 00:14:45.110 --> 00:14:49.214
- You know, on top of all of that,
- 00:14:49.848 --> 00:14:51.183
- People who buy cars that are assembled in the us,
- 00:14:51.183 --> 00:14:53.952
- They're going to start
- 00:14:53.952 --> 00:14:55.053
- Getting a $7,500 tax break at the time of purchase.
- 00:14:55.053 --> 00:14:58.924
- There's a housing program being discussed
- 00:14:58.924 --> 00:15:00.659
- At the white house as well.
- 00:15:00.659 --> 00:15:02.361
- You know, i'm not sure what else
- 00:15:02.361 --> 00:15:03.428
- The president can do to make clear how hard he's
- 00:15:03.428 --> 00:15:05.397
- Working to make things good for everyone.
- 00:15:05.397 --> 00:15:07.833
- Do you think he'll start to get more credit
- 00:15:07.833 --> 00:15:09.501
- Once these things kick in a bit more?
- 00:15:09.501 --> 00:15:12.137
- I had the pleasure of sitting down with the treasury
- 00:15:12.137 --> 00:15:14.172
- Secretary, scott bass, in what's known as the cash
- 00:15:14.172 --> 00:15:16.475
- Room of the treasury a couple of weeks ago.
- 00:15:16.475 --> 00:15:18.510
- It's the full episodes up on my podcast for you two.
- 00:15:18.510 --> 00:15:20.879
- People are interested,
- 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:21.880
- And he thinks inflation is going to go close
- 00:15:21.880 --> 00:15:23.682
- To zero first half of next year.
- 00:15:23.682 --> 00:15:25.350
- Now that's a big back.
- 00:15:25.350 --> 00:15:26.385
- Hopefully that he can cash in those chips.
- 00:15:26.385 --> 00:15:29.221
- But if that's true and people see the gas prices are down
- 00:15:29.221 --> 00:15:32.391
- That regular, it's easier to get stuff going.
- 00:15:32.391 --> 00:15:34.459
- It's easier to innovate because regulation is down
- 00:15:34.459 --> 00:15:36.862
- And they see those growth numbers coming out.
- 00:15:36.862 --> 00:15:39.064
- Then it's going to be
- 00:15:39.064 --> 00:15:40.365
- A big effort by democrats to try to bomb
- 00:15:40.365 --> 00:15:42.434
- Everyone out and tell them things aren't working.
- 00:15:42.434 --> 00:15:44.636
- All the job growth
- 00:15:44.636 --> 00:15:45.637
- That we're seeing are for native born americans.
- 00:15:45.637 --> 00:15:47.439
- People who are here are people.
- 00:15:47.439 --> 00:15:48.573
- The lineage here, people of a heritage here, a history.
- 00:15:48.573 --> 00:15:51.576
- That's a beautiful thing that trump is doing.
- 00:15:51.576 --> 00:15:53.245
- He's fighting for the american people
- 00:15:53.245 --> 00:15:54.980
- And it's high time he deserves some credit.
- 00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:56.681
- Well, alex marlow, thank you again for joining us.
- 00:15:57.682 --> 00:16:00.519
- His podcast is called the alex marlow show
- 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.422
- And you can see his other work on breitbart news.
- 00:16:03.422 --> 00:16:06.258
- Here's to another successful year, alex,
- 00:16:06.258 --> 00:16:08.093
- Including your new radio show.
- 00:16:08.093 --> 00:16:09.795
- Hope to see you soon.
- 00:16:09.795 --> 00:16:11.430
- Thanks, pastor. you will.
- 00:16:11.430 --> 00:16:13.231
- When we come back.
- 00:16:13.231 --> 00:16:14.366
- Hope for all for the year ahead.
- 00:16:14.366 --> 00:16:23.007
- Hope for all for the year ahead.
- 00:16:23.007 --> 00:16:27.380
- The evil
- 00:16:27.647 --> 00:16:28.815
- Is haunting the people of god on the earth these days.
- 00:16:28.815 --> 00:16:31.384
- I know we don't like to talk about it.
- 00:16:31.384 --> 00:16:33.286
- People will say, well, you shouldn't say that.
- 00:16:33.286 --> 00:16:35.421
- It's political.
- 00:16:35.421 --> 00:16:37.156
- No, it's not political.
- 00:16:37.156 --> 00:16:38.324
- It's just our reality.
- 00:16:38.324 --> 00:16:40.159
- Gunmen set up on a beach in australia
- 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:43.196
- Hunting jews at the beginning of hanukkah.
- 00:16:43.196 --> 00:16:46.199
- Some men went hunting.
- 00:16:46.199 --> 00:16:47.467
- Charlie kirk because he didn't like his biblical worldview.
- 00:16:47.467 --> 00:16:51.170
- In nigeria, our brothers, our christian brothers
- 00:16:51.170 --> 00:16:53.973
- And sisters
- 00:16:53.973 --> 00:16:55.208
- Will gather this weekend in the midst of brutal persecution
- 00:16:55.208 --> 00:16:58.478
- As they have courageously been doing over many years.
- 00:16:58.478 --> 00:17:02.215
- The difference is, now, at least they know
- 00:17:02.215 --> 00:17:04.450
- That the most powerful nation on earth
- 00:17:04.450 --> 00:17:06.519
- Hasn't turned a blind eye to their plight.
- 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.122
- With the recent attack against terrorists
- 00:17:09.122 --> 00:17:10.857
- In nigeria. america has displayed
- 00:17:10.857 --> 00:17:13.493
- A willingness to confront evil forces.
- 00:17:13.493 --> 00:17:16.295
- I'm grateful for the approach
- 00:17:16.295 --> 00:17:17.497
- Being taken by this administration.
- 00:17:17.497 --> 00:17:19.532
- They're not sitting passively by
- 00:17:19.532 --> 00:17:21.200
- While christians are brutally targeted.
- 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.136
- I've been reminded of winston churchill.
- 00:17:23.970 --> 00:17:26.139
- He was the prime
- 00:17:26.139 --> 00:17:27.206
- Minister of great britain during world war two.
- 00:17:27.206 --> 00:17:29.809
- He followed neville chamberlain
- 00:17:29.809 --> 00:17:31.511
- As the prime minister, neville chamberlain.
- 00:17:31.511 --> 00:17:33.679
- He was a feckless politician,
- 00:17:33.679 --> 00:17:35.448
- In my opinion, a coward of the first order.
- 00:17:35.448 --> 00:17:38.151
- Winston churchill was not that,
- 00:17:38.151 --> 00:17:40.386
- And he had some pretty remarkable quotes.
- 00:17:40.386 --> 00:17:42.655
- I'll share a couple.
- 00:17:42.655 --> 00:17:44.023
- He said that the price of greatness is responsibility.
- 00:17:44.023 --> 00:17:47.660
- And also he said, this is not the time for ease or comfort.
- 00:17:47.660 --> 00:17:51.497
- It is time to dare and endure.
- 00:17:51.497 --> 00:17:54.600
- Well, i'd like to use the comparison
- 00:17:54.600 --> 00:17:56.169
- Between chamberlain and churchill
- 00:17:56.169 --> 00:17:58.070
- For our own season, and submit to you that it's time for us
- 00:17:58.070 --> 00:18:01.707
- To make the move from appeasement to advocacy
- 00:18:01.707 --> 00:18:04.443
- For the truth.
- 00:18:04.443 --> 00:18:05.511
- What is passive and what is assertive?
- 00:18:05.511 --> 00:18:08.514
- I submit to you that the church predominantly has been passive
- 00:18:08.514 --> 00:18:12.018
- For far too long.
- 00:18:12.018 --> 00:18:13.719
- I believe you're going to have to follow
- 00:18:13.719 --> 00:18:15.021
- The counsel of the new testament and say no to ungodliness.
- 00:18:15.021 --> 00:18:18.858
- If we continue in our current path,
- 00:18:18.858 --> 00:18:21.227
- We will forfeit our place in the kingdom of god.
- 00:18:21.227 --> 00:18:24.163
- If the church lacks the courage
- 00:18:24.163 --> 00:18:25.631
- To tell the truth to our culture,
- 00:18:25.631 --> 00:18:27.466
- Then the one
- 00:18:27.466 --> 00:18:28.634
- Who has put us on assignment, you'll pull our license.
- 00:18:28.634 --> 00:18:31.671
- It's not optional.
- 00:18:31.671 --> 00:18:33.439
- I'm very grateful to say that there's an awakening
- 00:18:33.439 --> 00:18:35.608
- Taking place. there are good things ahead.
- 00:18:35.608 --> 00:18:38.211
- There are opportunities.
- 00:18:38.211 --> 00:18:39.779
- So let's have the courage to stand up
- 00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:41.881
- For our biblical values.
- 00:18:41.881 --> 00:18:43.649
- In that, i promise there are reasons for hope.
- 00:18:43.649 --> 00:18:47.153
- Stay with us. we'll be right back.
- 00:18:47.153 --> 00:18:55.009
- Stay with us. we'll be right back.
- 00:18:55.009 --> 00:18:59.800
- Your emails are always a highlight of the program.
- 00:19:00.801 --> 00:19:02.869
- Thank you for taking the time
- 00:19:02.869 --> 00:19:04.071
- To share your questions and your thoughts.
- 00:19:04.071 --> 00:19:06.573
- Jay barth from california inquired.
- 00:19:06.573 --> 00:19:09.309
- Pastor, i often hear you say the phrase biblical worldview.
- 00:19:09.309 --> 00:19:12.446
- I agree with you, but can you elaborate on that phrase?
- 00:19:12.446 --> 00:19:14.848
- I use it,
- 00:19:14.848 --> 00:19:15.849
- But i need to be able to elaborate
- 00:19:15.849 --> 00:19:17.284
- Better without stumbling over my words.
- 00:19:17.284 --> 00:19:19.086
- Thank you.
- 00:19:19.086 --> 00:19:20.320
- Yeah, i think i can.
- 00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:21.521
- Biblical worldview is not complicated.
- 00:19:21.521 --> 00:19:23.257
- It simply means we accept biblical principles, values
- 00:19:23.257 --> 00:19:26.760
- To be the filter through
- 00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:27.828
- Which we process life and make our decisions.
- 00:19:27.828 --> 00:19:29.963
- We accept the truth of scripture as the authority in our lives.
- 00:19:29.963 --> 00:19:33.567
- Now here's the awkward part.
- 00:19:33.567 --> 00:19:35.035
- We have a lot of people who call themselves christians,
- 00:19:35.035 --> 00:19:36.803
- But they haven't submitted
- 00:19:36.803 --> 00:19:38.005
- To the authority of scripture or the lordship of jesus.
- 00:19:38.005 --> 00:19:40.307
- So they don't live with a biblical worldview.
- 00:19:40.307 --> 00:19:42.242
- They make up their own rules,
- 00:19:42.242 --> 00:19:43.410
- And they say, this is what i think
- 00:19:43.410 --> 00:19:45.312
- Until we align our behavior with a biblical worldview.
- 00:19:45.312 --> 00:19:48.682
- We're going to face the judgment of god.
- 00:19:48.682 --> 00:19:50.350
- It's an important opportunity for all of us.
- 00:19:50.350 --> 00:19:52.653
- Well, i'm alan jackson.
- 00:19:53.153 --> 00:19:54.221
- Thank you for spending a few moments with us.
- 00:19:54.221 --> 00:19:55.989
- And i pray you have a wonderful evening.
- 00:19:55.989 --> 00:19:55.989
